Nail Polish - Barre My Soul

Perfect for Jelly Manicures

Barre My Soul from the NYC Ballet collection was my very first O.P.I. nail polish. I have seen so many reviews on O.P.I. as a whole, so I had a high expectation for this nail polish before even trying it. Though this nail polish is sheer, I find it to be a great neutral color for work, school, and when you just want a clean looking manicure. My brush had no flaws in it and was pretty much defect free.

Now, my favorite way to use this polish: jelly manicures. I love to use this as my base color and "topping" color for my jelly manicures. How I use this color is to first apply two coats of this color, letting the polish dry in-between. Next, I apply two coats of whatever glitter I'm using (I've used Wet n Wild's Party of Five glitter and China Glaze's Party Heart), also letting those dry. Finally, I do one more coat of Barre My Soul, let it dry for a few minutes, and top it off with my fast drying top coat. The result is a muted glitter that is a perfect way of wearing glitter subtly. This is my favorite O.P.I polish (mainly because it was my first one) and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a nice, sheer polish for jelly manicures or for a glossy shine to their nails.
